NEW HOLIDAY SPECTACULAR BRINGS BIG VOICES, LIVE MUSIC
AND CHRISTMAS CHEER TO METRO VANCOUVER
Tree-mendous powerhouse vocalists and a sleighin’ five-piece band come together for a high-energy celebration of timeless holiday songs, interactive sing-alongs, and festive fun
An exciting new concert experience will be making its debut across the Lower Mainland this Christmas season. Holiday Spectacular will take the stage in four cities—Surrey, Maple Ridge, Vancouver and New Westminster—from December 17 to 20, 2026.
From Vancouver producers Alan Corbishley and Frédérik Robert, the A and F behind Creative AF Productions, this live music extravaganza brings together established musical theatre performers and recording artists for a 90-minute celebration of beloved seasonal music for audiences of all ages.
“We wanted to create something that feels bigger than a concert—a night out that families and friends can count on to make the holiday more joyous, fun, and filled with all the festive feels,” says Alan Corbishley, co-founder of Creative AF Productions. “Really, the kind of holiday tradition you look forward to every year.”
The very merry vocal lineup includes Adam Fisher (Les Misérables; Music of the Night: The Concert Tour); Madeleine Suddaby (Kinky Boots; Kimberly Akimbo); Paul Almeida (The Dressing Room; Guys and Dolls); Skye Harding (Passenger Seat EP; “Friend In You”); and Vocal Trio, The Dimes (Decades in Harmony Tour; Martini Town Merry & Bright).
Act 1 of the show moves through a mix of nostalgic Christmas classics and contemporary favourites, including “We Need a Little Christmas,” “O Holy Night” and hits by Stevie Wonder, Elton John and Ed Sheeran.” Act 2 features Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas is You” and turns up the audience participation with a festive sing-along, featuring popular melodies like “Let It Snow,” “Deck the Halls,” “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”… and much, much more.
“We love this city so much!” says Frédérik Robert, co-founder of Creative AF Productions. “Vancouver deserves a holiday show that feels completely its own, and this is it: high-quality live music wrapped in pure fun and joy from start to finish. We can’t wait for people to hear these incredible voices.”
And for those who take their holiday fashion seriously (or not seriously at all), audiences are invited to come donning their most gloriously gaudy, wonderfully tacky, tinsel-covered ugly Christmas sweater, with festive prizes and seasonal bragging rights up for grabs.
As part of its commitment to community, Holiday Spectacular invites local charities, including Sound the Alarm: Music/Theatre, to participate at select performances and connect directly with audiences through on-site fundraising and awareness initiatives. Sound the Alarm is a Metro Vancouver arts charity dedicated to creating innovative, high-quality performing arts experiences, developing Canadian talent, and supporting diverse and vibrant communities. Now that cause is a-Claus-for-Applause!
